One of the most exciting features for me about the SSD on PS5 was the ability to install just the part of the game you want to play. You are not into MP, you don't install it. You finished the single player campaign and will only play MP, just delete it!
This feature was supposed to also help keep the storage capacity not get full so fast. However, I don't know any game that does this. Is there any?
Another thing is that updates were supposed to be faster and smaller in size because they would install directly to the file instead of making a complete copy or something like that (I'm not sure about the tech lingo), but so far everything seems to be working exactly like it did on PS4.
Then, there's the ability to redesign the games because there was no longer need to have an elevator to have a level load. This is too soon to tell yet, but since many games are still being developed as cross-gen, I think it will take a longer time.
It seems like developers noticed that people were happy with just shorter load times, and didn't bother to implement all the things that were supposed to be available with the SSD.
It's disappointing that the ability to install only the part or gam mode that you want it's not there (AFAIK) yet.
Ever since I watched the first UI tour when the PS5 released, it was obvious that the PS5 shipped with an alpha or beta version of the OS. There is no way the UI is finished. The worst part is that with Sony you never know when or if feature will be back or available when they are needed. It could take months, years or never come, but one thing is for sure, you'll never know for sure.
